About
I’m an entrepreneur, former U.S. Naval officer, and impact strategist who helps people build things that make sense in a finite world. I’ve led startups and programs in ClimateTech, DeepTech and SpaceTech focusing on circular and regenerative economy solutions. I’ve taught innovation and customer development, and hosted multiple podcasts that bring leaders together around practical solutions.
What Shaped Me
Service, discipline, and a bias for outcomes. The Navy taught me about leadership under pressure. Corporations taught me about building and executing at scale. Startups taught me focus, humility and speed. Teaching and thought leadership helped me to sharpen my voice and my craft clearly, focusing ideas and helping others do it all, better.
